This project aims at investigating new methods for geolocating future satellite radiometers ICI/MWI. The approach followed is to select some known geolocation regerence that show distinctic signature in terms of brightness temperature. The definition of these signatures for each typology of geolocation reference is the core of the project. Two main geolocation reference will be considered: landmark referecne and meteorological refererence. For landmark reference, Sinthetic aperture radar data will be used, whereas for meteorological targets exixsting radiometer data are used.
